THOUGHTS ON LOVING MY JOB & NECESSARY CHANGES...

I'm a shooter for sure...

I love the interaction. I love the rush that it gives me. I always feel as if I am in my element when I'm shooting. I love my job!!! Just to be able to say that is an accomplishment in itself. I have to make this work. My business. This business. So that I can continue to love what I do always! the sad truth is that I am experiencing serious withdrawal from shooting since my newest edition to the family arrived. I never thought I would say a thing like this but maternity leave is lasting WAY too long! My biggest challenge since having our second child has been finding the time. The time to successfully concern myself with my clients needs as well as meeting my family's needs all at the same time. A dance of pretty complicated sorts. After much prayer and assessment I have made the difficult and yet exciting decision to no longer accept weddings and begin my journey to specialize in family & children's portraiture. It's been a rough call for me. And although I have a major LOVE of shooting weddings I felt that it would be much more fitting for my family and my schedule to focus in on portraits. So for now I will be saying goodbye to good ole' times like these...

...and hello to newborns, toddlers, hubby's and their wifey's oh the joy!!!

P.S. Anyone know of any must-go workshops for portrait photogs??

XoXo,
